Island Maps, Beaches, Resorts, Restaurants & more..

Our app differs from the books because the information changes literally every single day. When something out of the ordinary happens, such as an approaching hurricane, we can introduce a new chapter right to your app seamlessly and keep you up-to-date literally hour by hour. When the Big Island’s volcano was causing disruption to visitor plans, for instance, we were on it. And when things settled down, we completely revamped many sections and pushed them immediately to the app. (The app user doesn’t have to do anything, it happens automatically.)

The app is geo-aware so we have lots of additional technological features that aren’t possible with books as well as filters, favourites, etc. And the app has our custom-made geo-referenced maps that are huge with our readers. Want to read about a particular beach? At the top of the description is what ocean conditions will be like that day.

Author’s Note

In all my travels, the Big Island of Hawai‘i is the most diverse place I’ve ever seen. This island literally has it all. Where else can you drive up to a snow-capped mountain of nearly 14,000 feet, then cruise down to a heavenly beach and snorkel in warm waters on an 85°F day? Exotic rain forests, stark lava deserts, crystal clear waters packed with fish, an erupting volcano, old Hawai‘i towns and modern out-of-this-world resorts. Swim with dolphins, hike around smoldering craters, luxuriate in decadent spas or roll around on a black or even green sand beach. I can—and do—go on and on. Live your dreams during your Big Island trip.
